It can’t be a coincidence that as the NFL gets ready to adopt a rule change that should increase the number of two-point attempts, the Philadelphia Eagles are signing former Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

Eagles coach Chip Kelly loved going for two points during his coaching days at Oregon. He knows Tebow can be a two-point specialist if nothing else.

Bring back the jump pass!

The NFL, at its owners meetings May 18-20 in San Francisco, is expected to amend its extra-point rules for the 2015 season. The proposal that seemed to have the most traction as the owners, coaches and top executives adjourned from their league meetings last month in Phoenix: Move the one-point extra point back 13 yards to a 33-yard kick and nudge the two-point conversion in a half-yard from the 2-yard line to the 1 1/2.

During Tebow’s two-year term with the Broncos, in 2010-11, I often proposed that coaches Josh McDaniels and John Fox should go for two every time. It was not unrealistic to expect the multi-option Tebow to convert three of four, two-pointers in a game for six points. Make four of four kicks and it’s four points.

Tebow rushed for four touchdowns of 2 yards or less in his two Bronco seasons and was two-of-two in two-point rushing attempts during his magical 2011 season.

Ordinarily, I’d say Tebow’s chances of claiming an Eagles’ season-opening roster spot are remote. But if the league adopts a two-point conversion enhancement next month, his chances increase.

Tebow has made it known that he’s been eager to get back in the league, and over the last couple of years, he’s worked out with former Major League pitcher Tom House to improve his technique.

House was on The Sports Show last week to discuss Tebow’s drive to land an NFL roster spot — and what held him back when he was a pro.

“Everyone who worked with Tim helped him in the short term, but he didn’t have a chance to get enough repetition to actually facilitate a change,” House said on the show. “I think this time he has. The numbers are there. He’s probably had 10,000 reps. He’s been working out with us on a regular basis for a couple of years.”

House said that helping Tebow with his accuracy and spin was “easy to fix” but refused to make any claims about the quarterback’s decision-making, something he was faulted for in his short time in the NFL.

I read a feature by my buddy Kent Babb of The Washington Post, and it detailed Chip Kelly’s new Eagles offense. Philadelphia rolls into town on September 29th to take on (maybe) Von Miller and the Broncos defense.

Kelly’s fast-paced, never-stop offense is innovative in some regards.

From Babb’s piece:

“Honestly, it hurts your lungs,” Eagles tackle Lane Johnson said of his team’s tempo, after the New England Patriots’ 31-22 preseason win. “But when you see the defense is coming, and you know that they’re out of breath, you go for the throat.”

At the University of Oregon, this was the way Kelly built and ran offenses. He’s a strikeout pitcher: varying speeds and rhythms, and as soon as the defense relaxes, thinking it knows what’s coming, there is Vick’s deep touchdown pass, a heater high and tight.

Brandon Krisztal, Press Box Insider, gives this report from Dove Valley on Wednesday, asking John Fox what the Broncos need to consider if they run or play against a fast-paced offense. And Wes Welker, who played in one of the fastest offenses in the NFL, says the strategy has its good and bad sides.
